I'll Canuckian your face.
This has gone on for 11 pages without a single post from Dragonius. Man this is stupid lol
Yeah i just found out there is two sides to this story so unless he gets on here its pointless.
See but what you both are failing to realize is that ??? items are serious fucking business.
And BB you are saying it like you know exactly what happened. No one knows whether purposely meant to take it or just d/ced, couldn't come back, heard he was flamed, and was like "Fuck this guy" and appraised it/dropped it.

I had a pld tell me before that if that NM was up they would pull it no matter time. He even disengaged the mob just so he could open the chest. Go go brass ring! So yes some people really would fake a dc to get it.
Wait, who's the asshole here? Now I'm lost :|
You misunderstand me slightly, and its probably my fault. My points are based on the assumption that he did deliberately DC/Logout without appraising the item in party. There is no proof of this being the case, just as there is no proof that this is not the case, but because Dragonius' presense in this thread as yet eludes us, the discussion is in about taking ??? items without appraising them in general, not Dragonius.
There's, in my opinion, a 90%~ chance he DC'd and had no intention of fucking people over, and then pulled the prick /tell because of the flame; something I can't say I wouldn't do myself. The point of this thread isn't whether or not Dragonius ninja'd the ??? item, because nobody knows. Yes, the OP was perhaps hasty in flaming, but that's at his discretion; I've seen enough people 100% ninja them by dropping party with the item WITH rules being declared before the run to know that it can be annoying.
There's a low chance that the item will appraise, and even then, most of the items aren't that good; but is that relevant to whether or not it's as bad as stealing a K.Club? Not really, stealing is stealing.
So do actually see why saying that over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over is so incredibly stupid or are you just dense?
Jesus people. This is retarded. ??? item. Random person whom many of you do not know. Random OP. OMFG WHO CARES. I do Nyzul for the Armor. You may do it for the ??? item. If so, go you. No worries about Drag, he can do Nyzul with us any goddam time he wants. Let this retarded 11 page flame about ABSOLUTELY NOTHING go. Talk about a certain botting program that certain HNM shells buy on each server for $3,000 or some other shit again please?

I enjoy this logic.
A: I dont care about the item, so it doesnt deserve anyone's care.
B: The person isnt well known, so what he thinks doesnt matter.
C: This post isn't as interesting to me as one of my favorites, so it shouldnt be up.
No the really funny thing was that he was yelling about the op being a nobody, while he himself is a nobody, quite humorous.

Its not a friend defense, i dont know anyone involved. But are you trying to imply that people deliberately do nyzul to get these aprticular items??? because I could understand if you could predict their appearance in your run and then deal with the 10% rate.... but as far as I know these NMs appear completely at random with an infinitesimal chance of being the NM in question. Second, your retort is also flawed because this was a boss run, and they were definitely not after ??? items.
My point is in a pick up group, unless you specifically say what the conditions for ??? items are, do not be surprised when you get burned because you choose to adhere to some unspoken rule....
This is the trend that is the downfall of ffxi as a whole, the player base adopting these unspoken rules of etiquette and morality to help make the game more "fair". I agree with most of these unspoken rules, and I follow them, and I enjoy associating and playing with people that do too... But it is wrong to automatically expect someone you dont really know to adhere to those same conventions, and if they don't, you are free to choose to not associate with these people ever again.
In short, practice what you preach, but dont be a jehovah's witness about it.
I see what you are saying arthur , i really do, and I do agree with you , my point is , thats the risk you run in a pickup group... regardless of the reasons, I would confront, and if unresolved, blacklist and move on
Simply put, this whole issue could have been avoided if the OP had taken the time to wait and see what was up. By the time the OP decided to send a tell to dragonius, he was already aware of this flame. Like blaze said, act like a bitch, you shall be treated like one.
